On Wednesday I reached my open meadow ...my last day at work.
I had ached for this day in recent weeks (note agonising poetry) and yet when it arrived I was full of sadness. I had worked there for 5 years and 8 months. It had been my constant companion, my place of professional growth, my primary focus and my network. It had accompanied me through marriage, divorce and emotional turmoil yet I never until recently considered that it could have been the insidious creator of the later two.
The goodbyes were tough, even the emailing of them was a pull on my heart, but that same heart was lifted by the kind replies I received in those closing hours.
Mixed emotion was a sleep depriving demon inside me and at 0130 I got up. I cannot recall what I did but I went back to bed at about 0430 and slept for 1.5 hours before leaving the compost in the sink, the computer switched on and a house that looked like it had been burgled.
...but leave it for a better place I did.
